CASED is funded by
Further Education in IT Security
Objective
Designing security concepts and implementing them in a demand-orientated way
has to be learned. Connecting a secure system to electronic mail, facilitating
a secure network with internet access or distributed virtual private networks,
the installation of public-key infrastructure or even installation of an
ecommerce service – all of these projects and administration of networks
require substantial knowledge about security mechanisms and their application.
With its qualifying courses CASED promotes training on the job focusing on IT
security.
